Poll: Low Ratings, High Expectations for GOP in 2014
The new survey, taken Dec. 3-8, shows a conundrum: Democratic congressional leaders rate higher and registered voters by 48%-44% say they would vote for the Democratic congressional candidate in their district over the Republican if the election were held today.
At the same time, by 53%-47% Republican voters are more likely than Democrats to say they are “very enthusiastic” about voting in 2014 â?? a key test of whether they’ll bother to go to the polls. And they predict better results for their party next year, another poll question that in the past has signaled the elections that follow.
